    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Well, darn. Took it apart and swapped in a known-good motherboard. Still no display. I removed the display for kicks and giggles, and though I see nothing physically wrong, I see a load of components on the display ribbon. I will make the bold assumption that there isn't a schematic, nor do I...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hello everyone, I have a Hardware question, or rather, looking for information from people more familiar with he Switch OLED platform. TL;DR - I picked up a Switch OLED from FB marketplace place for a pretty good deal, but it has one problem, there is no display on the tablet. The console works...

    Tutorial PS4 SAA-001 UART reading and NOR Programming from a dummy.

    My understanding, and it was a while since I did this, is that you need to check a flag on the NOR chip for the UART to be readable; It is all encrypted and unusable otherwise. Other than reprogramming the NOR, I believe the only other way is to homebrew the system. Since that console I have...

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    Is your end goal a Capture Card for the DS Lite, or are you building your project as a consolizer? A "portable" DS Lite with 10.4" display would be one hell of a statement piece.

    Hardware Tutorial MLC2SD - A Wii U NAND (eMMC) Replacement Interposer

    Got an interposer installed into one of my consoles, and it worked perfectly. Ended up putting a little too much solder on the ground, which propped up the SD card slot a little, but other than that, an otherwise junk console has a second chance at life. Thank you for your hard work

    RGH3 NAND Flash Mistake and Console Not Found in J-Runner.

    Yes. Also tried a different PSU with no change. As an update, I cross-posted this on Reddit, and why Dash Launch is showing a Trinity Flash on my Corona motherboard isn't because I made a mistake; rather, it was intended. I think it is a bit silly, and only slightly confusing, but it is a...

    RGH3 NAND Flash Mistake and Console Not Found in J-Runner.

    I need some help. Did the RGH3 Hard Mod on a 4gb Corona Slim. Everything went well. This is my 4th console i've done this mod to,, but my first time with a 4gb Corona. As I go to begin installing software, Dash Launch, Aroura, etc, I noticed in Dash Launch that I flashed the console as...

    Hardware Misc JIS or Phillips: What to use on a DSi?

    What's interesting is that the photo in that eBay listing is one I've seen used a lot, but I could not find the source of the image. I don't want to wear a tin foil hat when it comes to this stuff, but I find it weird that this is the de facto "proof" that the difference between JIS and...

    Hardware Misc JIS or Phillips: What to use on a DSi?

    With all due respect, I could not find anything reputable to purchase online, and to assume "If Japan, therefore, JIS" is a false equivalency until proven otherwise. I know you said ones marked as JIS, my searches yielded nothing. Part of this project was me purchasing a sample screwdriver set...

    Hardware Misc JIS or Phillips: What to use on a DSi?

    That is one of the bigger questions that I tried to answer: What is even on the market that is considered a "JIS Standard Screwdriver"? The American version of the Vessel Website and iFixIt are the only sellers that mention the JIS Standard by name in any meaningful capacity. Others either...

    Hardware Misc JIS or Phillips: What to use on a DSi?

    Notice of Abandonment: I have been working on this paper for a few months, and I have gotten deeper into the subject than I am able to manage. I explain that more as I go along, but it became clear I lacked the effort required to reach a satisfying conclusion. I think the information that I have...

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    The cited reason appears to be more end-user troubleshooting, and the difficulty of cutting the hole in the outer housing. I don't exactly like pasting screenshots from Discord all the time, but the platform's walled-garden nature leaves me little choice when citing my sources.

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    For now, it doesn't look like it. Most likely still going to be closed source, which is a bummer.

    Misc Project Did the DSi Capture Card End with Katsukity?

    The one time I lapse on watching Merki's Discord, the announcement came through that DSi/DSi XL Capture Cards are in production. I'll update when more information comes out.

    Hardware Tutorial DS Lite Third-Party Screw and Hardware Measurements

    Between the 4 screw third party screw sets? I would say they are mostly the same in terms of quality. The differences in shoulder button springs were interesting, but are most likely benign. As for which one I would get for the DS Lite, well, I need to remeasure the DS Lite screws with my...

    Tutorial Ultimate Wii U Troubleshooting Guide | system memory error 160-0103 | stuck Wii U Screen | stuck Factory Reset | Black Screen (after stuck update)

    Yup, getting ISFShax installed and disabling the disk drive got me to the Wiiu menu. Had to blindly navigate through both installing ISFShax and disabling the disk drive since I still have no output from the HDMI. So for posterity, disabling the disk drive blindly is: Power 9x, Eject, Power...

    Tutorial Ultimate Wii U Troubleshooting Guide | system memory error 160-0103 | stuck Wii U Screen | stuck Factory Reset | Black Screen (after stuck update)

    I got around to getting the gamepad paired, and I am getting a disk drive error. I removed the PCB from the Disk drive on the off chance it was a failed component, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'll look into the Absolute Fix for the error code later. But I still don't have a display...

    Hardware Tutorial Xbox One Elite 2 Controller and Hardware Measurements

    Hello, Xbox One community. I am a crazy person from the DS Forum who measured all of the screws and hardware from the DS and 3DS family of consoles. I have been branching out recently to other consoles, and so, a busted Elite 2 controller ended up on my desk. Also, congratulations on the...
